Safe Shipping for Your Two-Wheeler

Bikes are more vulnerable to damage during transport than cars because they are top-heavy and have many exposed fragile parts like mirrors, indicators, and levers. A proper bike transport strategy ensures your ride arrives in pristine condition.

1. Expert Packaging is Key

Unlike cars, bikes should be packed. We recommend 'three-layer packing': a layer of bubble wrap, followed by corrugated sheets, and finished with stretch film to keep moisture out.

2. Fuel and Fluids

Always empty the fuel tank completely or keep it at an absolute minimum. In many cases, transporters are required by law to drain the tank for safety reasons during transit.

3. Remove Accessories

Remove any aftermarket accessories like extra lights, mobile holders, or heavy luggage boxes. These can get snagged or damaged during the loading process.
